HIT Policy Committee’s HIE Workgroup Makes Recommendations–August 14, 2009
The HIE Workgroup recommendations on August 14, 2009, (ppt) acknowledge the obstacles facing HIE and  build on the requirements necessary for exchange to “meet meaningful use and should include interoperability, privacy and security.” The workgroup suggested the types of federal action that should be taken, including the certification of HIE components, while “not recommending a separate certification pathway for HIOS” (health information organizations). The workgroup is chaired by Deven McGraw, Center for Democracy and Technology, and Micky Tripathi, Massachussetts eHealth Collaborative. The presentation was part of the HIT Policy Committee meeting held in Washington, DC, on August 14, 2009.
